OUTA says theJudge Nompulelelo Gusha acquitted one person and discharged the case against five others and two companies.
R25 million was paid by the Free State Department of Agriculture to Nulane Investment between 2011 and 2012 to conduct a feasibility study for the province’s Mohoma Mobung flagship project.Charges against Nulane fraud accused dismissed: OUTA Executive Director, Stefanie Fick says a lot of South Africans are disappointed by the court’s outcome.
“I think there’s a message for the NPA, the ID, and the SAPS, you need to get your house in order, you have an obligation to fight on behalf of each South African that finds them in a position, where there a victim of crimes. As South Africans, we’re victims of state capture, of corruption, and corruption has managed to create a lot of havoc.
Corruption Watch says if the NPA fails to learn a lesson from the judgment, then the country will witness other state capture cases fail.This points to the fact that we’re still living in an era of the state capture, where those fundamentally responsible for this treason, whether it would be former President Jacob Zuma, or the Gupta brothers, remain unaccountable, facing no consequences for the misdeeds.
